I've done some more work, most of it a little dull - base coating some of the larger body pieces.
I reassembled the head to do some detail work (much thanks to Demonac who pointed out to me the black pieces on the top of Gigastorm's dino head, which I can now see better on the photos that JITS very generously supplied me with), and found that under bright light, the paint work was not as good as it needed to be. I'll go back and fix it soon.
In order to do some more of the head, I need a horn. I cut and trimmed the transparent section of an MP Seeker flight stand, which was fine, but a little bland. I got out a bunch of unused clear body armour pieces from some RID Minicons (specifically the ones that were clear yellow and clear orange), did some test fitting of some different configurations, cut and Dremelled them down and stuck them on to spruce the horn up a bit. Then did the first few coats of transparent orange lacquer (SMS paints). Will need a few more orange coats and some clear gloss to make it shine.
To finish off, here's a pic of the reassembled dino arm, before detailing:
Total time taken so far: 15 hours, 10 minutes (that includes 4 hours just on the horn!)
